Tropical Fruit Discussion / Carrie - a million blooms and nothing to show for it
« on: February 21, 2021, 02:20:49 PM »For the sixth or seventh year straight, my Carrie tree was totally covered with blooms, Made for pretty viewing, but because of the predominantly male flowers (as usual) I will be lucky to get 20-30 fruits this year. Right next to it is Mahachanok, producing like a champion. I wish it was the other way around, because I prefer the taste of the Carrie to that of Maha.
Many of my friends have experienced the same thing..not many fruits even though the tree flowers easily. Anyone else seeing something similar?
I plan to prune the tree heavily this year and top-work most of it to something that is more productive. Any good early season variety among the newer ones?
